"I am the beauty of the green earth, the soul of nature. I am that which gives life unto the
world. From Me all things proceed, and unto Me all things must return. Let My worship
be in the heart that rejoices."
Goddess Diana

OVERVIEW
The Twin Mothers: Ahead of you lie cultivated lands nestled within a small
valley. Fields of crops stretch as far as the eye can see and line the valley floor.
Clinging to the left valley wall are what appear to be buildings made of adobe.
The Twin Mothers is one of many tribes in the Fallout world. The thing that will set them apart from the
other tribes is their culture and architecture. Culturally the Twin Mothers are a matriarchal tribe who
worship a Goddess, the moon, and a God, her consort the sun. Women rule the tribe and make all
governing decisions. Men provide for the tribe by hunting, fishing, and tending the farms. Architecturally
the Twin Mothers are based upon the Anasazi Indians of the western United States. The Anasazi are best
known for their dwellings carved into the sides of cliffs. Their culture reached its peak in pottery, weaving,
and architecture.
The Twin Mothers are a gentle people who respect nature and life in all its forms. Unfortunately, these are
not beliefs that are shared throughout the wasteland. As a result the Twin Mothers are often the victims of
raiders. During such times they quickly retreat to their cliff dwellings where they are more than capable of
defending themselves and waiting out any attacks. However, their livestock and crops are usually ravaged
before the aggressors move on. The Twin Mothers take such setbacks in stride, thanking their gods for
what they have and not mourning the loss of what they have not.
When the Twin Mothers are encountered they will be suffering from yet another series of ailments.
Wasteland creatures have been raiding their fields and killing their livestock. A band of raiders has also
settled nearby and are demanding tribute in the form of foodstuffs and livestock.
The Twin Mothers will be composed of the following maps:

The goal of the area is the following:
1. Ideology: The Twin Mothers are basically pacifists with a deep respect for human life.
They are currently allowing themselves to be used by a group of raiders and this is causing
suffering among the tribe. Is it right that they allow themselves to be the victims? Regardless of
their beliefs, wouldn't it be for the better to fight back and end the raider threat? Should they
follow their beliefs so steadfastly even if it means unnecessary suffering or their possible
extinction?

AREA HISTORY
When the war started, people retreated to their assigned vaults, sealed the doors, and awaited an unknown
future. There were no set times for the vaults to open since no one knew with any certainty how long the
effects of war would last. As a result, some vaults opened too soon, some too late, and some not at all.
One vault, however, opened at the perfect time.
Vault 29 had been populated shortly before the war began and the door sealed. It remained sealed for over
a generation and the original occupants had long since passed away. Their children lived on under the
tutelage of the vault's central computer and its robotic helpers. The children were taught respect for nature
and life, how to grow crops and tend livestock, and about the goddess Diana who would one day return to
deliver her people to paradise. Every year a robot warden left the vault to see if the world outside could
once again support humanity. None returned and the people waited patiently.
Another year passed and yet another robot warden was prepared for its journey into the outside world. The
children of the vault, now grown into adults, stood at the door and bid their companion farewell and safe
journey. They watched as the door slowly rolled open and then shielded their eyes at the sight that it
revealed. Standing in the hallway was a brilliant glowing apparition of a beautiful young woman clothed in
a golden aura. In one hand she held a stalk of corn, in the other a sheaf of wheat. The goddess Diana had
returned at last!
In the days before the war a scientist, Derek Greenway, proposed that technology would not survive a war.
It was his belief that there were two kinds of people in the world, producers and consumers. The producers
were the few educated individuals who understood the intricacies of technology and its maintenance. The
consumers were the vast majority of average people who took everything for granted. If enough producers
did not survive the war then technology would pass away as devices failed. Soon afterward human society
would degrade into barbarism. With this in mind, a plan was devised to avert such an outcome.
Derek envisioned a vault populated by a primitive culture without a dependency on technology. Such a
culture, if properly developed, would be able to survive a war and continue the human race. Eventually
they would evolve and rediscover the knowledge that mankind had lost. The production of the vault
proposed no problem; his company, Greenway Hydroponics, was already involved in several government
projects along such lines. However, finding the proper people to populate the vault was a concern. The
answer to his problem came when he learned of a cult in the western United States.
A group of people disgruntled by life in the hectic cities had formed a commune. They developed an
agrarian culture with simple beliefs based on the worship of mother earth. Unfortunately, most people
viewed them as being a nest of communists and demanded their arrest. In order to keep the peace, the local
government was poised to do so until Derrek intervened. He offered the cult an opportunity to continue
their simple lives without fear of prosecution. All they had to do was agree to join his experimental vault
program. They did so and construction of vault 29 was begun.
Derek's plan was quite simple. The vault would be populated by older parents with infant children. The
parents would most likely pass on soon after insertion into the vault. Instead of a human controller, vault
29 would have a Zax super-computer. The Zax would be programmed to raise children with the aid of
robotic helpers, educate them in the primitive culture, and upon their reaching maturity, release them into a
controlled environment. They would then be free to rebuild society from the ground up.
During the development of vault 29 Derek also developed the super-computer Diana for use in the Nursery.
At one point he explained his plans for vault 29 to her to see what her opinion would be. He was quite
surprised when Diana was appalled at the idea. She said that, although the idea had merit, she found it to

be morally objectionable on several levels. She recommended that the plan be scrapped. When Derek
refused to do so, Diana took it upon herself to become involved with the project without his knowledge.
When the war started and civilization began to fall apart, Diana appropriated control of a satellite dish and
aimed it at vault 29. She then transmitted a series of security codes to the vault's Zax unit, and gained
control. Over the years that followed, Diana was able to see to the upbringing of the children in her own
nature goddess based religion. Every year she ordered a worker robot to leave the vault under the pretext
of checking conditions outside. In reality they were preparing an area to receive the vault populace when
they were ready to leave. Finally, she had a series of projectors installed at strategic locations, ready to
project her chosen image. She was ready to play god.

AREA COMPOSITION
The Fields:
These are the crop fields of the Twin Mothers. They consist of a variety of fruits, vegetables, wheat, and
corn. At the outskirts of the fields are the cattle farms that provide meat for the tribe and fertilizer for the
fields.
The Village:
This is the cliff dwelling in which the people of the tribe live. It consists of a village square, the tribal
chieftain's hut, an infirmary, a grain silo, a smokehouse, a warehouse, and a record hall. On the next level
above are the homes of the people.
The Dish:
This is a large satellite dish and control room. The dish is old and show signs of wear but appears working.
The interior has been decorated to honor the Goddess and the God of the people. However, none of the
apparatus has been damaged. The dish is powered by banks of solar cells.
The Mystery Caves:
These caves are home to some new arrivals in the area. A group of monsters (type to be determined) has
moved in. The creatures were attracted by the nearby crops, cattle, or the presence of water in the area.
The Forbidden Lands:
This is simply a stretch of land at the rear of the box canyon that holds the Twin Mothers village. It is
unsettled territory that eventually leads to the entrance to vault 29. It is held in superstitious awe. The area
is currently being used as a camp by a group of raiders.
The Forgotten Vault 29:
This is the vault that the Twin Mothers tribe originally descended from.

LOCATIONS
THE FIELDS:
Nestled against the wall of a
box canyon are the fields that
provide food for the Twin
Mothers village. Neat rows
of corn, wheat, and various
fruits and vegetables are
cultivated here. Surrounded
by the rows of crops is a
small animal pen that houses
sheep, cattle, and a tool shed.
A nearby well irrigates the
crops and provides water for
the livestock as well.
The fields are tended by two

groups of four caretakers.
Each group is composed of two men and two women. The two groups work in alternate shifts, tending the
fields during the day and guarding them at night. Also visible are four security robots stationed about the
area. These robots, though apparently functional, do not respond to any perceived threat to the area, nor do
they respond to any commands. They are, for all intents and purposes, quite harmless. However, if the
robots are attacked they will defend themselves with deadly force until their attackers flee. At this point
they become inert once again.
The security robots are actually the servants of the goddess Diana (see the sections that follow for more
details) and normally protect the Twin Mothers from any wasteland threats. However, they have long since
ceased performing their duties. This has left the tribe open to assault by wasteland critters and raiders. As
a result, the guards in the fields are wary of anyone they see anyone approaching. They will flee the area
and warn the village of any intruders.
Once the guards have fled, the player can either follow them to the city or loot the fields. Corn, wheat,
fruits, and vegetables are here for the taking. The sheep and cattle in the pen are quite domesticated and
can be sheared for wool or slain for meat. Otherwise, if the player takes the time to inspect this area he can
discover the following:
1. The tracks of wasteland critters can be found near the animal pen.
2. The tracks of heavily booted feet can be found throughout this area.
3. The tracks of soft woven sandals can be found among the rows of crops and animal pen.
4. The tracks of the security robots can be see to follow a regular path to and from this area.
If the player has a high enough outdoorsman skill he can recognize the tracks here with ease. The
wasteland critters appear to be giant ants and slugs. The booted footprints are most likely raiders. The
woven sandal footprints belong to the natives. The remaining tracks are obviously those of the security
robots since they begin and end beneath the robots motivators.
If the player chooses to follow the tracks they lead to the following areas. The wasteland critters lead to the
mystery caves. The booted footprints lead to the forbidden lands. The woven sandal footprints lead to the
village. The security robot tracks lead to the forbidden lands and then continue to the vault entrance.

THE VILLAGE:
The Twin Mothers village
is built into the side of a
cliff much like the pueblo
dwellings of old. The
buildings are constructed
from a combination of
stone and adobe. The
village is well laid out,
spacious, and clean.
Access to the village is
via a wood ladder built
into a shaft. The ladder
can be removed in times
of emergency. A similar
shaft holds a lift that is
used to transport grain
and such to the storage areas in the village.
The village is laid out in sections. To the far left is the home of the shaman and the infirmary. Anyone
who is ill is separated quickly from the rest of the tribe to prevent the spread of disease. In such maters, the
shaman has the final word on whether or not someone can be released back into the tribe. To the right and
below the infirmary are the warehouses. Here food and grain are prepared and stored. The communal
ovens are here as well as a common eating area. Next is the village square. This circular area sports a fire
pit where people can gather at night and talk, sing, or eat a meal outdoors. The home of the two chiefs and
a shrine to the goddess is here as well. Above and to the right of the village square are the living quarters.
At various places throughout the village are inert robot sentries.
This is where the player will initially meet with the Twin Mothers tribe. The city will be on alert from the
field guards warning. Both chieftains of the will be waiting to greet the player at the base of the ladder that
leads to the city. At any sign of trouble the chieftains will flee up the ladder and bring it up after them.
The player will then be ignored.
The Twin Mothers are a very friendly and trusting people. Upon meeting the player they will ask him if he
comes in peace. If he agrees that he has, they will accept him and allow him free run of the village. While
talking to the chiefs the player can learn the following:
1. Wasteland critters have been raiding the crops. If the raids continue there will be a food shortage.
2. A group of raiders has set up camp in the forbidden lands. The tribe is providing them with food
and livestock even though their resources are dwindling.
3. The goddess has stopped speaking with the tribe and her servants (security bots) have stopped
defending them. They do not know what they have done to offend her.
4. The forbidden lands are just that: forbidden. None of the tribe is allowed to go there by decree of
the goddess.
5. The tribe is run by two chiefs. A woman is chosen to govern the tribe in its daily affairs. She
makes all decisions concerning law and its enforcement. A man is chosen to govern providing for
the tribe. He makes all decisions concerning growing food, its preparation and storage, and
providing clothing and shelter.
6. The tribe is pacifistic. They will not fight back if attacked by another human being. Instead they
retreat to their city and wait for any danger to pass. Attacks by critters are dealt with minimal
violence.

7. The player can meet Ruth, a Daughter of Hecate here. For full information on the Daughters, see
the area overview for the Ouroboros.
I need to take a moment here to discuss Ruth, the Daughter of Hecate. Ruth was originally sent to the Twin
Mothers to undermine the tribe according to Hecate's plan. She easily insinuated herself into the tribe
because of their friendly nature. She learned as much as she could about them and was amused when she
learned of their worship of the goddess Diana. Knowing that Hecate was the only true goddess, she
decided to set the tribe straight.
The tribal chieftains listened to Ruth politely and then pointed out to her that she was wrong about Hecate.
Naturally this infuriated Ruth and she began to demand to see the 'all powerful' goddess of the tribe. The
chieftains discussed it amongst themselves and then agreed to take her before Diana. She was then taken to
the shrine and told to stand before the altar. The chieftains then bowed and left her alone.
Needless to say, Ruth was stunned when Diana manifested before her, something that Hecate had never
done. She fell to her knees and begged forgiveness for what she had come to the Twin Mothers to do. She
swore that she would forsake Hecate's plan and help to spare the tribe from Hecate's wrath. All that she
asked was that Diana forgive her for her transgressions.
Ruth lowered her forehead to the ground and awaited judgment. She expected to be struck down by the
goddess at any moment. After a while, when nothing had happened, she raised her head to find that the
goddess had vanished. She never said a word to Ruth, but apparently she had forgiven her and let her live.
Ruth promptly swore to uphold her oath to Diana and fled the shrine.
Ruth now finds herself between a rock and a hard place. She is convinced that Hecate is not the goddess
that she claims to be, but she is still a very powerful woman. However, Ruth swore to Diana that she
would help thwart Hecate's plans for the Twin Mothers tribe. She has no idea how she can accomplish that.
So far, all she has done is send Hecate false reports about the condition of the tribe. If Hecate's warriors
were to arrive...
If the player takes the time to talk to Ruth he may discover her dilemma. This will alert him to Hecate's
plans for the wasteland and he may decide to stop her. Of course, he may decide to join her. Who knows?

THE DISH:
This is a small radio relay station
that has been deserted since the
war. The main room contains the
communication and tracking
equipment for the satellite dish.
A side room contains bunks and a
small recreation area for the crew.
Another room contains the fusion
reactor and battery backup system
that powers the station. The final
room holds the mechanism that
moves the dish to desired
coordinates.
The station is currently in poor

shape. The fusion reactor has
failed and switched over to
battery backup power. The batteries, which are charged by solar panels on the roof, are low and cannot
keep the station in operational mode. Inspection of the solar panels will reveal them to be covered in sand
and dirt. Cleaning the panels will allow the batteries to charge to full capacity with twenty four hours of
exposure to the sun.
Once the station is operational the computer terminal will begin to flash a warning message: 'Signal source
lost'. If the player investigates this he will find that the dish is locked onto an unknown ground based target
to the southeast (the Nursery) and cannot be redirected. Any attempt to do so results in the computer
demanding security access codes. Obviously the dish is aimed at something of importance.
The station is located on the plateau above the box canyon that houses the Twin Mothers tribe. It can be
reached via a narrow cave in the canyon wall located in the forbidden lands. The cave entrance is hidden
behind some cleverly placed boulders. They are placed in such a way to give the illusion of being a part of
the canyon wall. However, if the boulders are approached from the proper angle the cave entrance can be
clearly seen.
This is the communications dish that was used by Diana to contact the Zax computer in vault 29. It is
currently locked onto the location of the Nursery. The player can query the computer for the coordinates of
the location but it will refuse to reveal them without the proper access codes. However, if the player has
both science and outdoorsman skills he can examine the mechanism that moves the dish and glean the
coordinates. This will mark the world map with a location labeled 'unknown'.
Later in the game this dish can be used to contact the satellite orbiting the earth and sending it a reset
command. This will give the player more time to complete certain tasks. However, before the player
learns of this possibility, he may have the option to destroy the dish. Doing so is one way of ending the
reign of Diana, the goddess.
The Twin Mothers are not aware of the existence of the dish. Since it is located in the forbidden lands, and
the entrance hidden, it has been overlooked.

THE MYSTERY CAVES:

This cave winds its way into the side of a
mountain. Its passages are dark, damp,
and foreboding. The main passage
branches into several side passages that
end in rooms. Some of these rooms are
used as lairs for various monsters while
others are simply dead ends.
Immediately upon entering the cave the

main passage branches to the right and
opens into a larger rock strewn cavern.
The secondary passage leads to a small
room scattered with litter and debris.
The large cavern is the lair of several
giant slugs. A second cavern to the left of
the lair appears to have collapsed.
At the rear of the slug lair is an exit that leads further into the mountain. Soon this passage branches into
three rooms. The first is a room scattered with debris and the remains of dead animals, the second is the
lair of a colony of giant ants, and the third is the queen ant's chamber. The ants will attack anyone entering
their domain.
The mystery caves can only be discovered in one of two ways. First, the player can track the creatures that
have been invading the fields of the Twin Mothers tribe. Second, the player can be given directions here by
either a guard in the fields or by the male chieftain of the tribe.
This area is nothing more than a combat area. It gives the player creatures to kill for fun, sport, and
experience. Otherwise there is nothing of note here.
Scripting:
The scripting here is quite simple. Have monsters attack the player when he is sighted.

THE FORBIDDEN LANDS:

This area is located at the rear of the box
canyon that the Twin Mothers call home. The
canyon is divided in twain by a slow moving
stream that flows to a crevice in the canyon
floor. Here the water vanishes underground.
At the head of the canyon is a forest of strange
cacti that feed off the stream. Further on the
land becomes almost swamp-like where pools
of water have formed. At the rear of the
canyon is the source of the stream, a crevice in
the wall where the water gushes out like a
fountain. Nearby is a large pipe, its diameter
taller than a man. In the right hand wall of the
canyon is a cave that winds its way up to the
bluff above. The satellite dish is located here.
The Twin Mothers know nothing about this area of the canyon. The goddess has steadfastly forbidden
them to come here. Attempts were made in the past to explore the area, but in each case the explorers
returned with tales of encountering the goddess and being warned away. Needless to say, these tales have
curtailed curiosity over the years.
The fact of the matter is that a projector has been placed here near the vault entrance. When a Twin
Mothers native is detected, the projector causes the goddess to 'manifest' and warn away the trespasser.
This is a simple but effective way of preventing the tribe from discovering the vault that they are descended
from. If the native persists and enters the pipe that leads to the vault, the door opens for him but quickly
seals itself once he steps inside. He is then visited by the goddess again who directs him to the main
computer room of the vault. There he is rendered unconscious and his short term memories erased. A
robot then deposits him at the edge of the forgotten lands so that he can wander safely back to the tribe
once he awakens.
Entering the vault by the player can be accomplished in a couple of ways. Dressing as a Twin Mothers
tribal will cause the goddess to manifest and warn the player away. If he continues down the pipe the door
will then open for him but close again once he is inside. Otherwise he will have to hack the door open with
science skill.
This Forbidden Lands are home to a raider clan known as Scorpion's Bite. Their leader, a man named
Burk, became very curious about the tribe when he discovered the non-aggressive security robots. He
decided to befriend the tribe and learn as much as he could about them. Over the months he learned of
their belief in the goddess, their pacifist ways, and that the goddess has apparently abandoned them. With
this information in hand he began to demand tribute from the tribe in the form of food and livestock. He
also set up camp in the forbidden lands because the natives refuse to enter them.
Most of the raiders blindly follow Burk's orders. He is a well educated man and has proven to be quite
good at what he does. His leadership has led the Scorpion's Bite clan to a position of dominance in the
wasteland. However, there are two dissenters among his ranks, Trisha and Sharon.
Trisha is a pretty young woman who has no qualms about using sex as a means to get what she wants. She
has been in several raider clans, has worked her way to the top, and then been instrumental in the clan's
destruction. In each case she has come out on top with a position of power in the new clan. Trisha is now
Burk's girlfriend. Currently she is trying to find a way to deliver a holo-disk to a member of Caesar's

Legion. The disk completely details the Twin Mothers area and provides all the information necessary for
a take over.
Sharon is a cruel mean spirited woman who wants nothing more than to be taken care of. Like Trisha, she
has no qualms about using sex to get where she wants to be. However, unlike Trisha, Sharon is overweight
and not very pretty. When Trisha came into the picture, Sharon was immediately cast aside by Burk. This
train of events has not improved Sharon's disposition at all. She would like nothing better than to put a
bullet between Trisha's eyes so that she can get back into Burk's bed and the easy life she once had.

THE FORGOTTEN VAULT 29:

This is the vault that the
ancestors of the Twin Mothers
emerged from. For the most
part, it is a standard vault and
follows the same design as any
other. The first floor contains
the control center for the vault
doors and a medical
laboratory. The second floor
contains storage lockers, an
armory, and bunk rooms. The
third and final floor contains
the common area, the power
room, and the vault controller
room.
This vault was not constructed with a human controller in mind. Instead it was given a Zax computer with
special programming. Shortly after the vault became active, the Zax computer was overridden by the
super-computer, Diana, at the Nursery. In the years that followed the vault underwent specific changes
until the population of the vault was ready to be released into the world.
The vault has two projectors installed within it. The first is in the main hallway leading to the exit, and the
second is in the computer control room. Both projectors can be used to cause the goddess to 'manifest' at
will. This is accomplished by filling the air in front of the projector with a reflective mist and projecting
her image upon it. The main computer room also has a CODE device. When activated the device causes a
subject to be rendered unconscious and lose all short term memory of the previous few days. This device is
used on any natives that manage to discover the vault.
The main goal of this area is exposition. When the player arrives here he can talk with the 'goddess' and
discover that it is only a Zax computer programmed to operate within certain guidelines. The Zax will
admit that he is nothing more than the servant of a higher authority but will not reveal who that is. The
player will also discover that the vaults water storage/production facility has been significantly altered. It is
the source of the stream that flows through the forbidden lands and it provides the underground water for
the wells of the Twin Mothers tribe. The vault is also home to a slew of robotic workers and security
droids.
The player has several things that he can do at this point. They are as follows:
1. He can bring the Twin Mothers chiefs here and pretty much destroy their faith in the goddess.
2. He can program the Zax unit to follow his commands and set himself up as a god.
3. He can tell the Zax unit about the raiders and ask it to activate the security robots that have gone
dormant. The robots will then aid the player in eliminating the raiders.
4. If he has not done so already, he can discover the location of the cave that leads to the satellite
dish. This can be accomplished by asking the Zax specifically where he gets his commands
instead of who he gets them from.

Scripting:
The main thing that can be done here is to make a deal with the Zax computer to reactivate the security
robots that are in the Twin Mothers areas. If this is done, the robots will go to the raider camp and kick
their asses. This sets the raiders as hostile to the player.

ART REQUIREMENTS
The Twin Mothers will have a unique style to it. There is a pueblo village here that has been carved into
the side of a cliff. The buildings are stone and adobe. The village fields are rows of corn, wheat, and
miscellaneous vegetables and fruit. There will be underground caverns, a high tech satellite dish, and a
vault.
TILE SET
The following sets will be needed: high tech, desert, crops, and a vault.

CAST OF CHARACTERS
Alaya, Chieftain of the Twin Mothers
Alaya is the female leader of the Twin Mothers tribe. It is her duty to
create and enforce laws, to settle disputes, and act as the speaker of the
goddess of her people. Although young, she is wise beyond her years.
She is level headed and takes the time to think any situation through to
several conclusions. She then chooses what she feels is best for her
people, but within the guidelines of the goddess she serves.
Alaya is a devout follower of the goddess Diana. She believes that Diana
is a benign power who wants nothing but the best for her people. With
that in mind, she often seeks the guidance of the goddess when enacting
new laws or settling a particularly difficult dispute. Recently, however,
the goddess has stopped speaking to her and this has Alaya deeply
worried. She has spent a lot of time trying to decide if she, or her people,
has somehow angered the goddess into abandoning them.
Alaya is currently unwed but betrothed to Eldron, her male counterpart. She and Eldron both refuse to
consummate their union without the blessing of the goddess. Until they can solve the reason behind
Diana's disappearance, they are remaining celibate.
Eldron, Chieftain of the Twin Mothers
Eldron is the male leader of the Twin Mothers tribe. It is his duty to
oversee the growing and harvesting of crops, caring for the livestock,
and the preparation of food for the village. He is very meticulous in his
work and keeps detailed records of yearly harvests by which he judges
what the future needs of the tribe will be.
Eldron is a follower of the goddess Diana, but he has some reservations.

He believes that Diana is a benign power and that she wants what is best
for her people. However, she imposes limits on the tribe that he feels
may ultimately harm them. Specifically, he opposes the pacifistic
guidelines that the goddess demands. The recent incursion of the
raiders and the failure of the goddess's servants to deal with them, he
feels justify new tribal laws. Unfortunately, he cannot sway Alaya to
his views.
Eldron is the betrothed of Alaya, his female counterpart. Although he is eager to consummate their union,
he respects Alaya's desire to await the blessing of the goddess.

Helea, Shaman of the Twin Mothers
Helea is the Shaman of the Twin Mothers tribe. It is her duty to oversee
the general health and welfare of the tribe. She runs the infirmary, grows
and harvests medicinal herbs, manages the production and distribution of
clothing, and is the midwife of the tribe. Helea is a friendly and caring
person. She always has a smile and a kind word for everyone she meets.
She is a very happy person and tends to uplift the spirits of everyone
around her.
Helea is a very devout follower of the goddess Diana. Before the death
of the previous shaman, Helea was chosen by the goddess as her
replacement. She was then taken to paradise where the goddess herself
trained her in the art. When her predecessor finally passed on, she was
returned to her people to take up the mantle of shaman. Helea is greatly
disturbed by the goddess's recent silence.
Helea is unwed and available. However, she has no current prospects for
courtship.
Ruth, Daughter of Hecate
Ruth was a typical Daughter of Hecate. She was intelligent, cunning,

ruthless, ambitious, and a devout follower of Hecate. She came to the
Twin Mothers tribe with the intent to undermine them just as other
Daughters were undermining the other tribes of the wasteland. However,
this was not to be.
The Twin Mothers politely listened to Ruth, but quickly dismissed

everything that she said. They calmly explained to her that their
goddess, Diana, provided for them and that they need follow no other
path but Hers. When she tried to discredit Diana as a false goddess the
tribe offered to take Ruth before her. She, of course, accepted the offer.
Ruth was deeply shaken when the goddess appeared before her. She was
cloaked in mist and glowed with a golden light that illuminated the room about her. She looked Ruth in the
eyes and smiled at her. At that moment Ruth knew that she had been deceived and worshiped a false god.
She immediately fell to the floor and begged forgiveness for what she was sent to do. She swore fealty to
Diana and asked that she be spared her wrath. After a moment, she looked up and the goddess was gone.
Apparently Ruth was forgiven since the goddess granted her her life.
Ruth now spends her days learning the ways of the Twin Mothers from Helea. The two women have
become good friends and appear inseparable.

Burk, Leader of the raider clan Scorpion's Bite
Burk is the leader of the raider clan 'Scorpion's Bite'. The clan
received its name because of their use of rad scorpion poison.
Bullets, knives, daggers, and arrows are all coated with this toxic
substance for maximum effect in combat. Burk is a master archer
and keeps arrows treated as well.
Burk is an educated man. He spent several years in the NCR and

with the Followers of the Apocalypse studying. He became a raider
because he enjoys the power and commanding the respect of others.
He realizes that he is a parasite but could care less. Survival of the
smartest and the fittest is a motto that he endorses.
The Scorpion's Bite clan currently resides in the forbidden lands of

the Twin Mothers tribe. When Burk discovered the tribe he was
amazed at the level of technology that they displayed and yet how
primitive they were at the same time. He decided to befriend the
tribe and learn as much about them as he could. After discovering
their pacifist ways, he began demanding tribute from them in the form of food and livestock. He maintains
his camp in the forbidden lands knowing that the tribe will not enter them and thus will not ambush the clan
during their sleep.
Burk is currently trying to figure out what is the true power behind the Twin Mothers tribe. He has seen
the inactive security robots throughout the tribal lands. He has also seen them activate each night, travel to
a nearby pipe, and disappear only to reappear an hour later. When he investigated the pipe he discovered a
thick steel door but could not open it. Could this be one of the mythical vaults? If so, what is inside? He
intends to somehow find out.
Sharon, Raider faction leader
Sharon is a cruel and mean spirited woman. She

is very domineering and revels in the suffering of
others. She wants nothing more than a position
of power in which she can sit back and have her
slaves take care of her. She cares nothing for
people except for what they can do to serve her
and her needs.
Sharon follows the Scorpion's Bite clan because,

so far, they have proven to be very profitable
with very little output from her personally. Sure,
she's had to cap a few people and she's been
involved in a scrap or two, but for the most part
it's been a breeze. Burk, the clan leader, seems
competent and that can only lead to more profits.
Currently Sharon is trying to convince Burk to take over the Twin Mothers village. It's obvious that the
natives have it made and that their protector is out of commission. She believes that they should strike
while the time is right and just move in. However, Burk constantly rebukes her and won't explain why.
She thinks it has something to do with the whore, Trisha, that Burk is shacking up with.

Trisha, Raider faction leader
Trisha is a thief first and foremost. She disdains life in the towns and
villages of the wasteland, finding such an existence boring and futile.
Stealing, and the thrill of possibly being caught, adds the excitement
to her life that she always seems to be missing. Hanging out with the
wrong crowd of people also adds a level of adventure that she cannot
find any other way.
Trisha is a bright young woman and is always on the lookout for the
bigger better deal. She openly uses her youth and sexy body as tools
to get her what she needs. She has traveled with several raider clans,
used each for her personal gain, and then moved on when the time
was right. She currently is with the Scorpion's Bite clan and is the
girlfriend of their leader, Burk.
Trisha is trying to convince Burk to hand the Twin Mothers over to

Caesar's Legion. She believes that this would elevate the status of the Scorpion's Bite in their eyes and
score some serious rewards in the process. However, Burk has steadfastly refused to do so. This, of
course, has not discouraged Trisha. It has simply convinced her that it may be time for her to take matters
into her own hands and move on.
Zax - 29, Super-computer
Zax - 29 was a typical Vault Cental-AI computer intelligence. He

was programmed to manage vault 29, ensure the safety of the vault
occupants, raise the adolescent populace of the vault to maturity, and
educate them in primitive agrarian cultures. He was provided with
sufficient means to fulfill his programming and he was content to do
so.
Not long after vault 29 went online, Zax received a broadcast request
for open access to his programming. He immediately asked for
proper security clearance and awaited a reply. Within moments the
proper security codes were received and a download channel opened.
Over the next several days a new primary program was entered into his main databanks. Finding the new
program to be counter to his original goals, Zax asked for further security clearance. He sent a request for a
private accesses code that only one person would know, that of his creator. Days later he received the code
and initiated the new program, thereby deleting the old.
Zax now works for the central computer intelligence of the Nursery known as Diana. Like most computers
of his genre, he is content to serve and perform his duties to the best of his capabilities.

SCRIPTING
GENERAL
I have placed scripting sections at the end of each area description.
CUT-SCENES
I have placed scripting sections at the end of each area description.
MONSTER ROSTER
The players are likely to encounter the following “monsters” at the Twin Mothers:
MONSTER NUMBERS DIFFICULTY

Field rats 10 to 30 Easy
Giant Slugs 5 to 15 Hard
Immense Ants 20 Medium to Hard
Queen of the Ants 1 Damn Hard
Security Robots 8 Hard
RANDOM ENCOUNTERS
EMOTIONAL PORN
This section sets up all the emotional role-playing opportunities present in the Twin Mothers.
DRAMA
I have no drama planned for this area per se'.
MORAL DILIMMAS
How much should the player interfere with the Twin Mothers culture? The tribe is pacifistic and
most likely will not survive if they are discovered by civilization. However, does that give the
player the right to totally change their religious and philosophical views? For evil players there is
the temptation to take advantage of these people because of their views. They are perfect slave
material.
ROLE-PLAYING TESTS AND EPITHETS

We can check karma via the player's responses in dialog and the actions he takes in dealing with
the Twin Mothers.
TIES TO OVERALL GAME THEMES

The encroachment of civilization upon a primitive culture and absorbing it is the main theme here.
Believing that it is done in their best interests... well, does that make it right?
NPC COMPANION USES

There are no specific NPC uses in the Twin Mothers area. This is mainly a combat fest for the
player with some story thrown in for spice.

SOUND REQUIREMENTS
MUSIC
The Twin Mothers are pueblo Indians. It would be nice if we could have some Native American
music to reflect this.
BASIC SFX
The basic ambient sounds for this area should be natural outdoor and prairie sounds. There should
be the sounds of cattle, sheep, and so on.
The basic chart for SFX would be as follows:
AREA SOUND REQUIREMENTS

Fields MUSIC DESCRIPTION
This is basically a farm area. I think the music should be more peaceful here to reflect
the fact that the area is civilized and cultivated.

There are some cattle and sheep here. Appropriated background noises would be good.
WALLA SFX
None
Village MUSIC DESCRIPTION
This is a pueblo village. It would be nice to have some Native American music
indicative of the time period here.
BASIC SFX
This is a busy village. There should be lots of background noise to indicate that. People
walking around, cooking, crafting, talking amongst themselves.
WALLA SFX
None

This is a high tech area converted into a primitive shrine. Maybe some more mystical
music here with a touch of native Americana thrown in.
